Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
EVs are, without doubt, the future and the solution of zero emission mobility, and even beyond that. By 2030, it is estimated that EVs will represent more than 62% of vehicles sold globally. Billions of dollars are spent globally on the research, testing, and manufacture of next-generation EV battery technology, which can enable higher energy density, higher power input/output, lighter materials, longer lifetimes, and safer operation, and require more abundant and eco-friendly minerals to be mined and recycled. In order to reach these goals, academics, scientist, vehicle manufacturers, and research institutes are working together to investigate, design, integrate, and validate the best and optimal solution for future EV batteries. The aim of this Special Issue of Energies is to propose, explore, introduce, discuss, and clarify research innovation and theoretical and practical industrial concepts within complex system engineering, which includes new battery pack design, smart battery management, advanced thermal-electrical and mechanical management, new battery chemistry for EVs, new battery electrodes and electrolyte materials, solid state batteries, advanced fast charging system, and re-usability of the EV battery pack for 2nd, 3rd, or nth life applications. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- New concepts in vehicle energy storage design, including the use of hybrid or mixed technology systems (e.g., NMC and LFP battery combinations) within both first-life and second-life applications.
- New concepts in energy management optimization and energy storage system design within electrified vehicles with greater levels of autonomy and connectivity.
- New fast-charging technology enabling extremely fast times, with the ability to handle immense power density without compromising the lifecycle of the battery pack.
- Innovative machine learning model-based investigation, and optimization for battery design, as well as fast and accurate (SoH) state of health and (SoC) state of charge estimation.
- The design, verification, and implementation of enhanced algorithms and models for battery control and monitoring, including new methods in state of charge estimation, state of health estimation, fast charge management, and active balancing.
- Novel methods of thermal management, including the creation of new models, the use of new materials, and their integration within the broader thermal management requirements of the vehicle.
- Next-generation VGI (vehicle grid integration) systems based on the optimization of EV battery lifetime, grid sustainability, and load flow efficiency, as well as micro-grid integration of EVs,
- New proposal for telematics, big data mining, and machine learning for the performance analysis, diagnosis, and management of energy storage and integrated systems.
